Creative Letters

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to start teaching J his Alphabet. He wont be starting school for a couple more years, but I didn't want him to be unprepared when he does start. Maybe it's just the teacher in me. The ideas came from NoTimeForFlashcards, Totally Tots and some that I came up with myself or saw somewhere and I can't remember where. We started off slow at first by spending 3 days on the letter A.


A is for Alligator, Arm, airplane, Alien and 'little' a is for apple

Then we did letters B and C in a week.

B is for Bumble Bee, Butterfly, Bananas. "Little" b is for boat.

C is for Caterpillar and Cookie.

Followed by D and E in one week and F the next week.

D is for Dinosaur, Dog and Duck. E is for Elephant.
F is for Flag and Fox.

We took a small break before moving on to the next three letters.

G is for Goat, Goose and Giraffe.

H is for House and Handprint.

I is for Island and Iguana.

He is beginning to recognize letters while we are reading to him! Once we make it through all of the capital letters, I will put them in a notebook and we will have our very own ABC book.
